Today @zackwhittaker brings up a very important topic about the launch of the new Apple Watch this week:
How a large company like Apple can play an important role in normalizing intrusive surveillance.
"Apple is opening the door to a world where other companies, device makers, and app developers try to recreate or rival Apple's technology and do a far shoddier job, all the while creating a worse surveillance monster and introducing new security and privacy risks along the way."
We don't talk enough about how privacy is also a culture, part of cultural norms that can go in one direction or another.
Products like this, produced and sold at a massive scale, weakens our culture of consent and privacy, and pushes society towards the increasing normalization of always-on surveillance.
I highly recommend reading Zack's article: https://this.weekinsecurity.com/watch-what-you-say-apple-opens-the-door-to-a-nightmare-world-of-always-listening-tech/
